Back in 1899, James Francis Cagney was born. Before his death in
1986, this accomplished actor performed in 70+ movies over a 63
year successful acting career.
In 1932 Jimmy Cagney starred in a movie called "TAXI". The film
is notable for not only being the first time Cagney danced on
screen, but also the last time he would allow live ammunition to be
shot at him. He had been wounded in a previous movie, and almost
got shot during the filming of TAXI. (Apparently, it was common in
those days to use live rounds...they didn't require special
effects, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, live rounds were
considerably less expensive than blank rounds.)
TAXI was the source of one of Cagney's most misquoted lines. He
never did actually say, contrary to popular
belief.........."MMMMMMMMMMMM, you dirty rat." The closest he got
to it in the film was......" Come out and take it, you dirty,
yellow-bellied rat, or I'll just give it to ya through the
door."

I didn't go in and check, but you can probably find this movie at
this location. Muggles abound, particularly in the evenings &
on weekends. You will need to bring your own writing utensil.
